In parts 1 and 2 of this series , my colleague Matthew Sauceda described how to successfully bias radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs). A monitoring and control) solution is required to overcome the temperature-dependent nonlinearity of a RF PA. Automated monitoring and control (AMC) solutions overcome the nonlinearity by dynamically controlling the PA’s gate voltage to maintain a desired drain current (I DSQ ). The current and temperature sensing solutions presented in parts 1 and 2 of...

Rex Computing’s 19-year-old founder has a plan to dramatically cut the energy used by powerful computers.Every fairy-tale giant has a weakness, and Thomas Sohmers thinks the same is true of Intel, which ships hundreds of millions of chips every year. To his mind, Intel’s chips guzzle too much electricity. At his startup, Rex Computing, Sohmers is working on an alternative way to architect chips that he says will use a 20th of the power that Intel’s use....

Avago continues its acquisition spree. Broadcom (network chipsets and NPUs, CPUs, etc.). This is looking like a more integrated semiconductor IP play here. They grabbed LSI, and shed the non-chippery bits. They grabbed PLX. And Emulex. As they say, curiouser and curiouser. This makes perfect sense to me, and given the other acquisition announced today,… Read More »...

Hello. I was just checking up my devices and on Intel(R) Display Audio and Intel(R) Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Driver there is an exclamation mark which indicated that the driver software needs to be updated. but i updated it using the "search automatically for updated driver software" and windows ......

Next week the EDA industry is getting together in San Francisco for Design Automation Conference 2014. As I pointed out in a recent blog called " Confessions of an ESL-Aholic ", the scope of electronic system level (ESL) design has changed quite a bit over the last 15 years, but there is still a lot of promise, and a lot to come. The basic premise of my soberness on classic ESL is that the basic momentum upwards in abstraction continues—as indicated in my graph dated ca. 2001 below—raising...

Being a Brit, Cricket is never very far from my thoughts especially when travelling to India, the biggest cricket mad nation in the world. There is a saying in cricket that you should always think of doing what the opposition would least like, a statement that applies in business too. I was on my way to present a session on Verifying Embedded SW Power Management” at the Embedded System Conference in Bangalore . With the recent activity by Intel firstly joining forces with TSMC to deliver licensed...

You may be tired of hearing only about Mixed-signal verification, so why don’t we switch to signal Integrity? . Looking at the recent announcements at CES and Intel’s expected release of server solutions using DDR4 memory later this year, I wanted to further explore this topic. We had a little time ago a very successful […]...

After three years of writing here several times a week, I’m going to take a bit of a break from this blog. I’ll be blogging for Develop Online and Mobile Entertainment each week (sponsored by Intel), and this blog will be updated occasionally, but I won’t be able to dedicate the time to it that […]...

The recent Intel Developer Forum 2013 in San Francisco was notable for the sheer number of attendees and the broad spectrum of the technology industry they represented.Intel's embrace of a more diversified computing ecosystem was on display -- Android mascots, tablets, and phones, and yes, servers and cloud software. Intel led the PC revolution with its x86 family of processors, but faces intense competition in the handheld space where low power competitors hold sway. The keynote speeches...

At the Intel Developers Forum in San Francisco on Tuesday, Intel’s CEO Brian Krzanich showed off a new system on a chip that’s designed for the internet of things.

The electronics industry has enjoyed constant growth while undergoing constant transformation. One of the most significant transformations has been the source of that growth -- from the PC revolution, to the rise of the internet, to mobile computing. The consensus is that the next growth driver is going to be "the internet of things," as many call it. Wired chooses to call it "the programmable world" in their recent article that lays out a vision and a roadmap for getting there....

Most of the large electronic companies...

At DESIGN West 2012 (aka "ESC" San Jose), Senior Editor Chris A. Ciufo sat down with TI's Matt Kurtz, Manager, Wireless Connectivity Group. Matt's group's job is to add wireless capabilities to microcontrollers with "everything from ANT to ZigBee". Consider their SimpleLink initiative, which is comprised of chipsets, protocols, APIs and drivers that make easy the task of adding wireless to a TI microcontroller product. In this short video, Matt explains that TI's focus is one-stop-shopping and simplicity. Judging from market feedback, TI has met its goals.
